Maybe not if you're just another person. But maybe family and such.
My brother lives in another country and WhatsApp is the platform that pretty much everyone he knows uses for free international communications
Telegram, Signal, KK, Wire... You have options
Ahhh yes, let me just get all of my brothers' business' account's followers to switch to telegram. I'm sure they'll all be willing....
"Just use something else, duh!" is ignorant. Not everyone uses social media to just post memes and argue with strangers. Some people use it for making money, or for access to support resources, or for a specific community that is important to their well-being.
My entire family uses Facebook Messenger. I like having communication with my family.
In my experience, Signal has great uptime. This might be the moment to get them all to shift.
We have family chat on Messenger, so that was a bummer
